The fact that both of my PM guides gave me a file backup of the user partition (p4) led me to believe that I didn't need to backup the entire partition. My file backup of p4 came to 308M, where a full partition backup would be close to 2G. Is there something necessary about the user partition? That's where I got confused back in post 561. You'd said someplace that it was essential that the main partition and the main kernel match and the diag partition and the diag kernel match, but someplace else I'd read that you could just destroy (somehow) p4 and the Kindle would recreate it on the next boot. (sigh)
Thanks for being patient with me so far. I really appreciate it.
